Introduction
• In this work of the English discipline, we are going
to talk about the importance of technology in
football for supporters. We hope to clarify our
doubts about this topic and deepen our
guidelines on it.
Digital and Social Media
• Because of improvements in technology, sports coverage is
more extensive than ever. Previously, viewers had to select
from a few channels to watch the game - now there are a
multitude of options. Coverage is available everywhere, all
the time. In addition, coverage is now available live and full
replay. In recent history, losing the big game meant having
to wait until the next morning, when you could read about
the results in the newspaper or hear them from your
friends. Now, however, people can record, save and play
back any footage.
• Media channels that broadcast sporting events can now use
technology to share information at a faster rate than ever
before. News and updates are quickly felt to smartphones
the moment news breaks. Furthermore, social media is
creating opportunities that were never considered possible.
This connection increases fan enthusiasm and contribution
to sporting events. Instagram and other social media sites
have connected with the sports community.
• Fantasy sports are another new digital implementation for
the sporting world. This is a fun way for fans to have
another outlet for their favorite times and players.
Ticket Purchase
• Not so long ago, buying sports tickets was sometimes so complicated. If you
had extra tickets or wanted to buy some, your only option was scalping.
Negotiating or obtaining tickets was an expensive process that took time and
was not very efficient.
• Now, however, sports fans can buy tickets online in a matter of minutes. New
online platforms like Eventbrite have made it easy and convenient to check in
and coordinate the entire ticket sales process, which attracts more people to
attend sporting events. Other companies like Barry's Tickets are focusing on
getting cheaper tickets at the last minute, completely changing the "scalper"
method of buying tickets outside the stadiums. This has boosted growth across
e-commerce, with sites like Facebook and Craigslist offering fans the chance to
buy and sell tickets without having to browse ticket sites. The apps now offer
ticket purchases, with Tickets and StubHub bringing ticket orders to people's
palms. For sports fans, making a last-minute decision to go to the game is now
a reasonable possibility.
• Replay may be the most important
Instant Replay technological advancement in the
history of the sport. Now it's up to
each league and sport to do the right
thing and adopt the practice to
ensure accuracy. Replay has now
become an important part of
football. Athletes and fans alike want
the game to be fair, and correcting
mistakes is the only way to ensure
that the game is played the right way
and the man or woman who deserves
to win really does it.
Helps us to • With so many sports and their intricate rules, it's
no wonder we need a pointer or two here and
understand there. Technology has done a great job of making
it easier to understand what's going on in a game,
the game highlighting the most important things going on.
A way to do this through ESPN Axis, a
better revolutionary way to show the ins and outs of the
game. It shows which players scored, why and
who could have avoided it. That way we're never
lost as a sports fan and that gives us something to
look for the next time we turn on the game.
• The world of football in recent
years has been having several
changes in terms of technologies,
being increasingly technological
and studied, thus trying to give
the best of football to supporters.

English course on the impact of

about it and aroused a lot of interest in
the subject.
